Abstract
Electrically conductive sheet metal is bent to form a terminal fitting 1. A pair of stabilizers or fins 6 protrude, and almost the entire face of the side faces of the stabilizers 6 is formed by a drawing process, the circumference edges thus being rounded, and forming bent areas 6B and 6C. As a result, even if the terminal fitting 1 is pulled out of a terminal housing chamber, the wall faces of the terminal housing chamber are not damaged by sharp edges, as is the case with a flat prior art stabilizer. Several embodiments are disclosed.
